You have made a good point. I think many people believe they may have diabetes but do not go to a doctor for fear of the diagnosis. Many of them post in the diabetes forums and ask us if we think they have diabetes and some of them freely admit they have not been to a doctor.

Only diabetics are included in the figures I quoted, not pre-diabetics.
